Aurelia London Hydrate & Protect Anti-Ageing SPF50 Moisturiser Review

I knew I was really going to like this sunscreen as it contains Glycerin and Sodium Hyaluronate which are my favourite hydrating ingredients. I always include these in my REESON makeup products*, which is my own brand*.

This is a chemical sunscreen packed with active ingredients which protect and nourish the skin at the same time. It is super lightweight and blends and absorbs into the skin really easily.

I have been skipping moisturiser and just use it over my serum. If you wanted a really quick routine who could use this straight on to cleansed skin, as it has some lovely ingredients in there.

I love the texture of this SPF product. It is light and silky, and as you massage it into the skin, it has a featherlight, almost water-serum texture that feels super calming and nourishing on the skin.

It gives a gorgeous glow and apart from that, it is instantly invisible on the skin, taking absolutely no work to become indetectable. If you have oily skin, you will definitely want to skip moisturiser, and if you’re dry, you may want to layer it on top of moisturiser. But have a play, it depends on the type of finish you want. It could even be enough if you have dry skin, because it’s such an effective moisturiser, even though it is lightweight.

The Aurelia London Hydrate & Protect Anti-Ageing SPF50 Moisturiser sits really nicely under my makeup. I like to wait 10 or 15 minutes for my SPF to settle into my skin before I apply makeup. I feel like this allows for the most even coverage of protection.

I think if you love a glow, this will be absolute perfection for you. It has such a pretty finish and is so soothing and comfortable on the skin. I think it’s great.

If you want something with more of a satin finish, check out Vichy Mineral 89 72H Moisture Boosting Daily Fluid SPF50+ Review.

Rare Beauty Find Comfort Gentle Exfoliating Body Wash

Selena Gomez’ beauty brand Rare has launched a new body product and I am really enjoying it. Here’s the low down on the Rare Beauty Find Comfort Gentle Exfoliating Body Wash.

What is Rare Beauty Find Comfort Gentle Exfoliating Body Wash?

With this new launch we are promised a spa-like shower experience. I love a super luxurious shower gel, especially as I am not really a bath person and need to find that relaxation where I can. The Rare Beauty Find Comfort Gentle Exfoliating Body Wash uses:

  • Innovative transformative formula
  • Transforms from a jelly to a creamy lather
  • Gently cleanses and nourishes the skin
  • Infused with skin-loving ingredients
  • Designed to leave skin soft, smooth and hydrated
  • Gently buffs away dead skin cells with konjac jelly
  • Uplifting scent of lemon zest, jasmine and cashmere wood
  • Vegan, cruelty-free, and paraben-free

Key Ingredients

Konjac jelly – for gentle exfoliation

Peach flower extract and avocado oil – to soothe and soften

Ashwagandha – botanical extract known for its de-stressing properties to calm the senses

My Review of Rare Beauty Find Comfort Gentle Exfoliating Body Wash

I love the jelly texture of this shower gel. It has very smooth, almost bubble-like exfoliating beads that gently cleanse and buff the skin. The formula lathers up really easily, and creates the softest, creamiest texture that feels like a big cuddle for the skin.

I love a really luxurious texture and this creates an abundance of frothy foam that feels super nourishing and not at all drying. A little goes a long way, so you don’t need too much product to cover your whole body in relaxing bubbles.

The fragrance is really lovely. There’s a really comforting and uplifting blend of lemon zest, jasmine and cashmere woods which quickly fills the shower and really delivers on that spa experience.

The exfoliation is gentle which means you can work it over the skin for as long as you like. I like to start on just damp skin, and then start to add more water for extra suds and a thorough cleanse before rinsing it all off.

It leaves my skin feeling, smooth, soft and also hydrated. It is very soothing and not at all stripping or tightening. It is fairly pricey for a shower gel, however, you don’t need loads and if you value your shower time, I think it is worth it.

The Rare Beauty Find Comfort Gentle Exfoliating Body Wash shares the same gorgeous packaging shade as the rest of the Rare Beauty body collection, which really helps to elevate this whole self care experience.

Where to buy it

The Rare Beauty Find Comfort Gentle Exfoliating Body Wash is £24 for 250ml and available via the link below:

No7 Future Renew SPF50 Review

  , , , , , , ,
Comments Off on No7 Future Renew SPF50 Review

hello hello, I hope you are doing good! We have another SPF review today and its my latest favorite, the No7 Future Renew SPF50

This is described as

No7 Future Renew™ Defence Shield UV SPF 50 is expertly developed to help protect against visible signs of sun damage. DAMAGE PROTECTION: Formulated with SPF 50 to help protect skin from visible damage caused by UV: uneven skin tone, fine lines & wrinkles, and dryness LIGHTWEIGHT MOISTURISATION: This lightweight No7 day cream leaves skin looking and feeling hydrated. NO WHITE CAST: The invisible, fast-absorbing texture is suitable for all skin tones and creates the perfect base for makeup

UV sunlight is the No1 cause of visible skin damage. A lack of sun protection can lead to visible signs of skin damage. With 80% of premature skin ageing caused by the sun, don’t let the clouds fool you, daily incidental sun damage can accumulate over time, causing the appearance of fine lines, uneven skin tone and dryness. This lightweight, invisible No7 finish formula leaves skin looking and feeling hydrated, while helping to provide a defence shield against UV in sunlight. Formulated with our highest & and lightest SPF 50 sun protection, age-defying peptide technology, and hydrating Sodium Hyaluronate.

Experience

I have experienced no irritation and it did not sting my eyes. The scent isn’t a strong SPF scent, its very mild

I bought this after speaking with the sales advisor and testing a bit of it on my hands. I had actually picked up a different SPF however she mentioned that the No7 one was better so of course I asked her if it left a white cast on dark skin. She said no and pointed that she actually had it on( under her makeup) she was a black woman so if she said it was invisible I was intrigued and the deal at the time also sealed it for came up to £14 lol

This SPF is super watery and lightweight and it sinks very nicely into the skin. It feels like I have nothing on and it works really well under makeup too. It leaves a glowing hydrated finish but its not greasy or look oily. I really really like this SPF! My friend with oily skin really loves this too. I have normal to combo skin and it works so well for it.

I LOVE this SPF. It layers so well on top of each other like there is 0 pilling! I tested this to the max whilst I was on holiday. I must have layered it at least 4 times and had 0 pill and 0 white cast. Of course after that many layers it starts to feel slightly heavy but I find this with all SPFs. Its very hydrating too . Is it invisible on dark skin?: judge for yourselves below

Verdict

In addition to high protection broad-spectrum protection, this SPF also has peptides and sodium hyaluronate for extra benefits. I have to admit this SPF pleasantly surprised me. I have a love hate relationship with No7 skincare so in all honestly I don’t even know why I agreed to get this lool but I’m so glad I did because it worked so well when I took it on holiday. I even used it on my body and it worked really well.

100% recommend this sunscreen

This is £24.95 in Boots
